Movies in 3D: a Hollywood gimmick that will fizzle out, or a revolutionary change that will have a lasting impact on the way movies are produced and viewed?
The answer depends largely on how movies in this eye-popping format are received by audiences around the world in the next few years.
Most Aussies who've watched Beowulf in digital 3D would probably say the movie was enhanced enormously by seemingly putting the viewer in the middle of the action.
Being assaulted with arrows, spears, blood splatter and flying bodies, chased by a fire-breathing dragon, seduced by a pneumatic Angelina Jolie as Grendel's mother…all that made Beowulf a truly immersive experience, at least for this writer.
(We could quibble with Ray Winstone's incongruous east London accent as the ancient Viking warrior; anachronistic dialogue like "bollocks"; and the narrative's lack of emotional pull, but none of that is the fault of technology).
